Let's take one side of the two equal lengths as r
third side is s.
so the total perimeter is r + r + s
2r + s = 23

According to the statement of third side s, 
5 less than twice the length of one of other
s = 2r - 5

we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns. so we can find out the values of those letters.

2r + s = 23
2r - s = 5

4r = 28
r = 7

s = 9
Therefore the third length will be equal to 9 cm.

The admission fee at a movie theater is $5 for children and $9 for adults. If 3200 people go to the movies and $24000 is collect
Usimov [2.4K]
For this problem, let x be the number of children and y for adults. Formulate the equations: 1st equation, x + y = 3,200 and 2nd equation 5x + 9y = 24,000. Re-arrange 1st equation into x = 3200 - y. Then, substitute into 2nd equation, 5(3,200-y) + 9y = 24,000. Then, solve for y. The 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Final answer is, y = 2000 adults went to watch the movie.

A ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 22 meters per second.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

27.4 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Um, your question is missing the x's. I'm going to assume, -4.9x^2+22x+5.5

= -4.9(3)^2+22(3)+5.5

= 27.4

At 3 seconds the ball is 27.4 metres above the ground.

Please work out and explain​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a = 22

b = 31

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is the same in each row, column, and diagonal.

One of the diagonals is already complete.  The sum is:

16 + 25 + 34 = 75

So the first row adds up to 75:

a + 37 + 16 = 75

a = 22

The second row adds up to 75:

19 + 25 + b = 75

b = 31

And the third row adds up to 75:

34 + c + 28 = 75

c = 13

We can check our answer by finding the sum of each column and the other diagonal.

22 + 19 + 34 = 75

37 + 25 + 13 = 75

16 + 31 + 28 = 75

22 + 25 + 28 = 75
